In-Depth Analysis
Hypno's 483 base stat total marks it as a defensive Pokémon that shines at absorbing hits. Special Defense (115) carries most matchups, but a low Speed stat of 67 means careful positioning matters.
Defensively, the Psychic combination gives Hypno 2 resistances and 3 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 2 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A catch rate of 75 puts Hypno in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Defense +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
